Karsie: Mom, Dad, can I have a bellybutton ring?
Michelle: No.
Karsie: Why not? All of my friends are getting one.
Kevin: All of your friends have bellybuttons.
(End Scene.)
To all friends and family: This blog is intended to keep all of you posted on information, updates, and thoughts from the Turner family as we work to bring Karsie into this world. To all who have been supportive through prayer, kind words, and hugs we both want to say "Thank you" from the bottom of our hearts. This has been and will continue to be a very trying time for us and every act of love from you has given us inspiration and strength. -Kevin, Michelle, & Karsie-
That's awesome! David and I are laughing hysterically about that right now... :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Will she really not have one? Fascinating. Also, it's funny because Garrett had enough belly button for four kids. If I'd have known about Karsie I would have asked the surgeon to save some of Garrett's.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you know I'm kidding...
Michelle, my last word verification was Miste. Thought you might appreciate that one...
ReplyDeleteYeah. The omphalocele is the actual umbilical cord, so when they put it all inside the skin is sewn together therefore leaving no umbilical cord left to fall off like normal children. Good plastic surgeons make a little bellybutton when they sew it together, but some just decide not to do it.
